I do have a couple of balls (V2 Pearl, Zone Classic) from other companines that I use a fair amount in tournaments. Aside from those two, everything else I throw is from Track. Here's my five most-used with a brief note on each-
Freak-a-Zoid: It's the one ball I look for reasons to throw right now. I'm extremely happy with the way it rolls, reads lane conditions, and carries, and I'm able to use it on a decent range of conditions. It's a shame they're being discontinued.
Crunch Time: Great ball for easier tournament conditions for me.
Heat: Good length, smooth hook...I love the way this ball rolls on broken-down conditions.
Desert Heat: PHENOMINAL ball for drier/broken-down lanes.
Rule: It's a shame that, outside of regionals, I don't see tournaments with longer patterns on a consistent basis in the Northeast.
I also throw a Slash in league to go with my FAZ and Heat...I really don't need anything other than those 3 for league. In tournaments, I also have a Rule GP2 drilled for an early, smooth roll that I throw on the extremely rare instances that I find a long and heavy pattern. Seems like everything around here is short (35-37') and average in volume, or longer (40-42') and lighter in volume.
